Jackson Family Trees
There are now more than three dozen JACKSON family tree on my site. My interest is in tracing the connections of JACKSONs from England and Scotland who settled in Ireland. I am also interested in pursuing the interconnections between the JACKSONs who lived in Ireland. I am also interested in those whose family arms included the image of three birds, preferably shovellers or sheldrakes aka shelducks. There is a strong likelihood – albeit proof is a work in progress - that these JACKSONs are all related - albeit distantly.
In exploring the ancestral lines in England which connect to my own family line, I am working from clues from previous generations:
NOTE: The date in the right hand column gives an idea of how recently this version of this tree has been updated. The rootsweb version will have been updated more recently than that with additional sources, additions, and corrections.

Quaker JACKSONs Theoretically, these JACKSONs came to Ireland from Yorkshire. I have included the Yorkshire bits, although I consider them as unlikely. The more reliable part of the research starts with Anthony JACKSON (1599-1666) of Eccleston, Lancashire, England. The story is that at least three of this Anthony JACKSON’s sons emigrated to Ireland:
Because of other JACKSONs in Co. Meath, this name is worth highlighting: Richard JACKSON (1670-1742) b: Abt. 1670 in of Oldcastle, Co. Meath d: 1742 Also of interest, are the JACKSONs who were prominent in the printing trades in Dublin in the late 1700s, such as Isaac JACKSON (1705-1756).It would not surprise me if these JACKSONs turn out to be connected to the Lisnaboe JACKSONs. Their politics were certainly congruent – both families supported the values of the United Irishmen, and were active in the movement in Dublin. |

A Second line of Quaker JACKSONs in Kings Co. This tree starts with Nicholas Jackson of Seathwaite, Lancashire. His grandson John JACKSON was born 1703 in Ballinolarbin, King's Co., and a grand-daughter, Mary JACKSON, was born in Timahoe, Barony of Clane, Co. Kildare. They emigrated to America and intermarried with members of the previous Quaker tree from the same region. |

JACKSONs of Ballyboy, Kings Co. aka Offaly This tree starts with an unnamed JACKSON born in the late 1600s who supposedly came from the North of Ireland. There are likely connections to other JACKSON trees where the DROUGHT family is mentioned, and also JACKSONs from Parsonstown aka Birr. . Many of the Jacksons in this line ended up in Canada. There is more than one line of JACKSONs that starts in the late 1600s in Ballyboy, Kings. Co. This tree incorporates material from some trees that have been shared by other JACKSON family researchers, as well as other material interpolated from deeds research and PRONI, and the National Archives in Dublin. There is much more to learn here. |

JACKSONs - one line based in Co. Carlow & Co, Wicklow This line of JACKSONs were based in both Co. Wicklow and Baltinglass as well as Brough in Co. Carlow. Some of my connections in this tree are based on far-fetched hunches - but I have included the level of proof – or lack of it - so I hope that any errors do not echo into posterity! As I learn more, I will fix it up. I am grateful for the help from Inga JACKSONs posts to the Carlow List Serve as well as emails from other participants on that list. Eagle Hill is variously described as being in Co Wicklow and in Hacketstown Co. Carlow. The tree starts in the early 1700s with an Unnamed JACKSON. The earliest named is a John JACKSON – likely in the late 1700s who married a Sarah JACKSON. Of interest is Peter JACKSON, a draper. It would be worth looking at links to the Co. Antrim JACKSONs. |

JACKSONs - various shrubs (not quite trees) based in Carlow 1. Roger JACKSON of Tullow Co. Carlow. Probably born abt 1670-1680. 2. Rev. Daniel JACKSON of Santry. Updates done after January 2012 are now at Jacksons of Derbyshire, Berkshire, America & Dublin. 3. Thomas JACKSON – origin not noted, born abt 1700. 4. Michael JACKSON b 1740 of Graigue, Queens Co.. (Boundaries have changed, and this is now part of the town of Carlow, Co. Carlow. 5. JACKSONs from Co. Wicklow who ended up at Lanark Co., Ontario, Canada. Starts with a John JACKSON born abt 1760. 6. Joseph JACKSON, Castle Strret Carlow, born abt 1800. 7. Edward JACKSON b 1797 and wife Rachel. 8. Alexander JACKSON of Brown’s Hill, prob born abt 1800-1810. 9. Edward JACKSON father of Thomas & Hannah 10. Joseph JACKSON born mid-1700s.. Hacketstown & Wicklow connections. Since the oral history of the JACKSONs of Urker, Parish of
Creggan, Co. Armagh is that the family was granted lands in Co. Carlow, I
wanted to check out records that might help us to verify or disprove this,
Both would be useful. Now that DNA is complementing the paper trails that are
possible through other means, this work may also be helpful to other lines of
JACKSONs. In light of this, if your family ties into any of these lines, then
it would be helpful to let me know so I can add to the shared memory bank. |

JACKSONs of Ahanesk, Co. Cork Photos of ruins at Ahanesk on this page. Starts with John JACKSON (born prob early 1600s) of Ballyduff, Co. Waterford. NOTE: This tree has been superceded by the Jacksons of Waterford & Cork tree. All future updates will be made there. This tree is interesting when looked at in connection with the Jacksons of Glanbeg. In each tree, there is a Mary WALLIS, daughter of Thomas WALLIS who marries a JACKSON. In the Glanbeg tree, it is a Thomas JACKSON and in the Ahanesk tree, it is a George JACKSON. Whether this is a coincidence, or an error in the secondary sources that I used (ie. Burkes), or whether there is a relationship here still to be discovered, I do not as yet know. I have an outline tree here followed by a detailed report. |

Jacksons of Ballygibbon, Co. Kildare There are several family branches of Jacksons of Ballygibbon, Co. Kildare that will likely interconnect when more is known. None of them are extensive enough to really be called trees - branches is more like it. Shrubs, perhaps.
The three people above, who I had found through deeds work, are now clicked into place as descendants of a Daniel JACKSON (1726-1815) – thanks to the research of Daphne McCann. This Daniel JACKSON died at Carbury, Co. Kildare. More deeds work may unearth more about him. One question I have is what ever happened to the Daniel JACKSON (1644-?) of Whittington? Did he go to Ireland like so many of his brothers? Did he have descendants? NOTE: Ballygibbon is close to the parishes of Ardkill and Tomahoe, where there were JACKSONs in the early 1700s. A link is likely. It is also about 8 miles from Drehid, Co. Kildare where one line of the Quaker JACKSONs lived. |

JACKSONs of Co. Kildare Outline Tree-1 & JACKSONs of Co. Kildare Detailed Tree-1 with sources, many thanks to Major John G. JACKSON, and based on a family tree done by James Marcus Neville Jackson, The tree starts with a Thomas JACKSON (?-1690) of Athgarvan & Kineagh, Co. Kildare who built the Stone House of Monistrevan [aka Monastereven] which I would have thought was in Kings Co., and in a parish which was not contiguous with Athgarvan & Kineagh, Co. Kildare. Based on a family crest, they may be related to the Jacksons who lived in Cumberland, Sunderland County Durham, Bedale Yorkshire and Combhay Devonshire. JACKSONs still reside in some of the same townlands. They may all turn out to be related. |

JACKSONs of Brampton, in the Huntingdonshire district of Cambridgeshire, England Paulina PEPYS, the sister of the celebrated diarist Samuel PEPYS married a yeoman farmer, John JACKSON. Other than the fact that his father was a John JACKSON and he had brothers Richard and James, I do not know where he might fit into another JACKSON tree. |

JACKSONs of Coleraine This branch of JACKSONs starts in Kirkby Lonsdale with William JACKSON (?-1626) and connects to significant players during the Siege of Derry amongst other events. It is also the family tree that leads to Richard JACKSON of Forkhill. This file has had a major rewrite in June 2013. Updates with significant changes are in Rootsweb tree. |

JACKSONs of Co. Cork The JACKSON name was associated with Co. Cork in the early 1600s during the first Plantation settlement. How or even if they hook up with this lot, I don't know. This tree begins with a Thomas JACKSON born in late 1600s, and connects to the names of STRETTELL and DEVONSHIRE They are in the Rootsweb tree. It is a subset of the JACKSONs of Duddington. |

JACKSONs of Derbyshire, Berkshire, America & Dublin This line of JACKSONs begins with a William JACKSON b. abt 1500 in Sapperton, Derbyshire, England. The Santry family tree has been merged into this tree. I have bolded some of the names in the family tree to help other follow their connections to other lines of JACKSONs.

JACKSONs of Staffordshire This starts with a Robert JACKSON born abt 1560 in Stone, Staffordshire.I have transcribed wills for Alexander JACKSON and his son Abraham JACKSON. This family tree is based on these wills. My interest in them is connected to other JACKSONs who were goldsmiths, and also silversmiths in Ireland. |

|
JACKSONs of Co. Down This tree starts with a Robert JACKSON,
probably b. 1619-1624 Ecclestone, Lancashire, England, and a supposed brother
of two influential Irish Quakers. My
interest in the JACKSONs of Co. Down is to determine their connection in the
late 1600s and early 1700s to the JACKSON families of Co. Meath, Ballybay,
Armagh, and Londonderry. This tree also includes the known
ancestry of President Andrew JACKSON. |

JACKSONs of Knockbreda – Co. Down. This tree begins with a James JACKSON born in the late 1700s. The early roots of this line – presuming there are earlier roots to be found in Co. Down – are likely connected to the James JACKSON of Ballymiscaw, Parish of Dundonald in the JACKSONs of Co. Down. That James JACKSON was a son of Gilbert JACKSON, and his likely dates would make him to be in the right time frame to be a grandfather of Robert Jackson (1815-1884) beneath. The names and dates are all based on evidence prepared for Oinri Jackson. Sources are available on request. |

JACKSONs of Doncaster This family began with Richard JACKSON b. abt 1521, and buried 1558 in Ledsham, Co. York. His descendants include family in Co. Tyrone including two cousins who married: James Edward JACKSON (Dean of Armagh) & Lydia JACKSON. I have highlighted in blue the known family members who either were born, married or died in Ireland, or were otherwise known to reside there. I expect that this list will grow as I learn more. This outline is followed by a detailed report which includes sources. |

JACKSONs of Duddington [aka Doddingham], Northamptonshire, England. The tree begins with Nicholas JACKSON (1570-1662) and is of special reasons for two reasons. The alleged Irish roots during the Elizabethan era of the family of Sir Thomas JACKSON (1841-1915), as well as their connections to Co. Kildare. The earliest known Irish-settled family is that of Francis JACKSON (1670-1740) who died in Fanningstown, Co. Limerick. I have highlighted the Irish-linked people in blue so they are easier to see. There will likely be more to add as I continue with this work – and as other contributors pitch in with whatever they can find. |

JACKSONs of Enniscoe and Carramore, Co. Mayo originated in Sneyd Park, -probably in Kent, England. The first Irish connection is Oliver JACKSON (1605) whose son Francis JACKSON died in 1678 at Enniscoe, Co. Mayo. I suspect that in time, we will also find that this tree is connected to a Miles JACKSON of Co. Mayo (found there as early as 1655). |

JACKSONs of Glanbeg NOTE: This tree has been superseded by the Jacksons of Waterford & Cork tree. All future updates will be made there. This tree is interesting when looked at in connection with the Jacksons of Ahanesk. In each tree, there is a Mary WALLIS, daughter of Thomas WALLIS who marries a Jackson. In the Glanbeg tree, it is a Thomas JACKSON and in the Ahanesk tree, it is a George JACKSON. Whether this is a coincidence, or an error in the secondary sources that I used (ie. Burkes), or whether there is a relationship here still to be discovered, I do not as yet know. [NOTE One source says Thomas died unmarried, so I am putting Mary WALLIS with his brother George for now.] I have an outline tree here followed by a detailed report. This tree is not yet included in my Rootsweb tree. |

JACKSONs of Godmanchester in the Huntingdonshire district of Cambridgeshire The first name is William JACKSON d. 1625 at Godmanchester. [Check will] NOTE: This is a companion tree to go with other files I have been working on. It is very much a work in progress. It is largely based on work done by a genealogist hired by Christopher Vane Percy. |

JACKSONs of Kings Co. - Seirkeiran. This is my first crack at this particular line of JACKSONs. They are not the only ones who show up in Kings Co., but they may be related to other lines in the Country. If anyone can help couple some of these together, I would be more than grateful.

Minchin Jackson family tree This tree is tantalizingly close to the tree of the Jacksons of Kings Co. I do not yet know whether it will tie in to other trees I have assembled thus far. The senior George JACKSON would have been born in the latter part of the 1600s, although where, I do not know. Keep tuned in. I will update as I learn more. |

|
JACKSONs of Lisnaboe, Co. Meath The sources for much of the detail included in this outline tree come from http://www.farrell-family.org/ an excellent site with hundreds of primary sources managed by Bill and Mary Farrell. I have recently separated this outline tree from a document that includes all the sources. Together on one page, they had become too large for many people to easily load and view. The most updated version is included in my rootsweb tree. |

JACKSONs of Santry This tree has subsequently been merged into the JACKSONs of Derbyshire, Berkshire, America & Dublin. Updates done after January 2012 will be found there. |

Jacksons of Clounagh, Parish of Drumcree, Co. Armagh and later of Lisburn. This family starts with a couple of Ralph JACKSONs in Co. Armagh, then a Roger JACKSON who seems to have started at Clounagh, but then set up house in grand style in Lisburn, Co. Antrim. |
June 18, 2015 |
|
Jacksons of Steeple & Loonburn & Islandmage - Antrim. It seems likely that the George JACKSON (1773-1797) in the first tree, whose ancestors owned land at Steeple, Parish of Antrim is a good possibility for the George (or Luke) JACKSON (b. abt 1775) in the second tree who owned land at Loonburn. The date for the latter is a hunch based merely on the birthdate of his first known son. I will be researching this further when I am next in PRONI (April 2015). |

Jacksons of Tullyvallen, Parish of Newtownhamilton, Co. Armagh These little family trees can more correctly be called shrubs – they have so few twigs so far, and many of them have been grafted on with a bit more tape and glue than what I normally feel comfortable with. Still, I have cobbled them together in the theory that something is better than nothing and they can always be pruned or even turfed if they turn out to be in error. |

JACKSONs of Waterford & Cork NOTE: This tree was created by merging two lines of JACKSONs: the JACKSONs of Ahanesk and the JACKSONs of Glanbeg. A detailed report follows beneath. There is much more to learn here. I suspect it can be merged with other lines as I learn more. Updated substantially October 21, 2013 |

Jacksons of Woodfield and Kiltegan, Co. Wicklow. Much of this tree is based on hunches and scant records. |

Robert JACKSON of Crooked Staff - Descendants. The JACKSONs who were tanners in the late 1600s, are likely related to JACKSONs of Athy, Co. Kildare, and are also likely to be Quakers, or at very least, closely aligned with them through either marriages or business enterprises. See also: An Outline Tree of Robert JACKSON of Crooked Staff. |

Descendants of Nathaniel HONE - Detailed Tree. The HONE family and the JACKSONs of Crooked Staff had a number of business ties, and at least one marriage. I have also prepared an Outline Tree. |

Jackson Family - Five Generations I am retaining this tree for archival value. It has since been superseded. It starts with George JACKSON (1718-1782) of Liscalgot & Urker, Parish of Creggan, Co. Armagh in the early 1700s, is 16 pages long and has 267 footnotes. It was prepared by Wendy Jack of Australia, for which I grateful. No living persons are included. It is also in an outline version: Jackson, George & Margaret O'Laughlan, 1700s Hyperlinks link back to biographies on the various family members for whom they have been prepared. NOTE: Better to go with the updated rootsweb version. |
